About Karen

Experience: 20 yrs

I am a proud mom of two grown adult children and I have a beautifuI 11-year-old grandson. I have 20 years experience enjoying working with children as an active nanny and babysitter as a career. I am hands on with arts and crafts, swimming, and other sports activities or just reading a book or listening to music, and playing board games. I feel that keeping a child's mind active is beneficial to their success in their education and life skills. I have upon request of various parents volunteered at their children's schools and pre-schools, assisting teachers preparing activities, snacks and engaging children in circle time for reading. I look forward to hearing from you. References upon request. Serious inquiries only please.

Karen was like a fairy godmother to our two children, who were ages 1 and 3 when she cared for them for several months. From the very beginning, Karen was warm, attentive, and incredibly nurturing. She is a one-in-a-million caretaker, with a natural ability to understand what each child needs, whether that means engaging them in play, helping to discipline or navigate feelings, or simply offering comfort and reassurance. Karen always came prepared to make the day fun and meaningful. She played with the children outside, took them for walks, and planned local outings and field trips that gave them new experiences. She made every visit feel special and often brought fun games and thoughtful gifts for the children, which they absolutely loved. She was also extremely helpful around the house. Karen prepared meals for the children, tidied up after mealtimes, and consistently left their play areas neat and organized. She regularly went above and beyond what was expected, and her thoughtfulness made a real difference for our entire family. Karen was always punctual, dependable, and highly communicative with us. Most importantly, we trusted her completely with our children and always felt confident that they were safe, happy, and genuinely cared for in her hands. Our kids adored her, and we are very grateful for the time she spent with our family. We enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a loving, reliable, and experienced caregiver.
